Activity
Neurotoxin
FUNCTION: The recombinant peptide moderately increases Kv11.1/KCNH2/ERG1 currents and shifts the voltage-dependence of the channel activation to hyperpolarised potentials (PubMed:31870846). In vivo, induces neurotoxic effects when injected into insects (tested on L.cuprina and A.domesticus) (PubMed:31870846). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:31870846}.
